Boxing was known in ancient times, as it appeared in the third millennium BC in the Sumerian civilization that arose in southern Mesopotamia. The sport of boxing was devoid of any protective equipment, as it was practiced with bare hands.
The sport made gloves mandatory for boxers in 1865. The first official boxing championship was held in 1881.
Boxing, also known as the "sport of kings" or the noble art, is a sport in which two athletes of similar weight attack each other with their fists in a series of 1- to 3-minute bouts called "rounds". In both the Olympic and professional divisions, fighters (called boxers or fighters) dodge their opponents' punches while trying to land punches of their own. Points are awarded for clean, solid strikes in the legal area on the opponent's front body above the waist, with blows to the head and torso being the most valuable strikes.
The boxer with the most points after the specified number of rounds is declared the winner. Victory can also be achieved if the opponent is knocked down and unable to get up before the referee counts to ten (called a knockout, or KO) or if the opponent is too injured to continue (called a technical knockout, or TKO).
Olympiad
Boxing has been contested at every Summer Olympics since its inclusion in the 1904 Summer Olympics, with the exception of the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, because Swedish law banned the sport at the time. The 2008 Summer Olympics were the last time boxing was contested as a men's-only event. Since the 2012 Summer Olympics, women's boxing has been part of the programme. Professional boxers were allowed to compete for the first time at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
